1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the most common chronic liver disease, but its pathogenesis is unclear. Here we focus on histidine triad nucleotide-binding protein 2 (HINT2), which is expressed in the mitochondria and is involved in hepatic lipid metabolism and mitochondrial protein acetylation. The expression of HINT2 is downregulated in MASLD. HINT2 inhibits free fatty acid-induced lipid accumulation and impairs mitochondrial function in hepatocytes. Hint2 knockout exacerbates diet-induced hepatic steatosis, inflammation, fibrosis and mitochondrial damage in mice. The overexpression of Hint2 attenuates these alterations. Mechanistically, HINT2 regulates mitochondrial protein acetylation via SIRT3; HINT2 enhances the NAD
